The Indian cricket team is preparing for the Boxing Day Test against South Africa at the SuperSport Park in Centurion on December 26. Virat Kohli has returned to the squad and is actively participating in net sessions. India has already secured a Test series victory in the ongoing World Test Championship and is facing their second assignment against the Proteas.
Under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, the team holds the top position on the WTC points table with a Points Percentage System (PCT) of 66.67. India aims to maintain their stellar performance in the ongoing World Test Championship with the return of senior players like Rohit, Virat, and Jasprit Bumrah.
The hosts welcome back the pace-bowling trio of Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, and Gerald Coetzee after their sabbatical. This Pace Troika presents a substantial threat to the Indian batting order. The series holds special significance as it marks the farewell for former Proteas skipper Dean Elgar, motivating the South African unit to bring their A-game to the field.
